Greif Support

June 21st 2026

Have you ever been in a crisis and wanted to turn to an adult for support, only to realize you are the adult? When I get that feeling, it's when I miss my dad the most; his absence is loud and painful.

Grief can be isolating and lonely. You are part of a club to which you didn’t want membership. When loss turns your world upside down, finding help can feel too hard. Getting support from others who are grieving can help you feel less alone and connect you with people going through similar experiences.

A Grief Group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the challenging emotions of mourning. This is designed to prepare you for the range of experiences you may encounter as you grieve, while reassuring you that grief does not follow a set pattern or predictable stages. You’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, no matter how unpredictable it is, and get steady support along the way.

When should you consider a grief group?

While grief is a natural reaction to loss, therapy is strongly suggested if your feelings make it hard to manage daily life. You should think about getting help if you have ongoing problems like trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, frequent panic attacks, or difficulty completing daily tasks.

You don't have to grieve alone. This is a place where people understand each other, share feelings, and connect with others while learning healthy ways to cope. It’s also a place to remember and honor loved ones. By sharing stories and traditions, we keep memories alive and find ways to stay connected to those we lost, living in a way that respects their values and the love they gave us.

How does it work?
  • The group facilitator provides routine and guidelines for each group, and discussion topics and pace are set by the group members.
  • Conversations about loss happen naturally based on what group members want to talk about.
  • Common topics include memories, sharing photos or mementos, holidays and birthdays, handling feelings, family relationships, coping strategies, changes in social life, and moving forward.
  • Sessions are not walk-ins. Each session requires pre-registration, including completed forms and a screening.
  • The fee is $60 for 90-minute sessions.
  • Each session is 90 minutes in length.
  • The group is open and continuous.
  • To gain the most individual support in a group setting, family members should consider attending their own group session.
How do I join the group?
  • Schedule a consultation, and the clinician will discuss your needs to determine if this group is right for you.
  • Once we have approximately 6-8 people interested in the group, we set the dates and times.
  • Informed consent forms must be signed before any session.
  • Mark your calendars and join our group.
